A beautiful Bermuda day

The weather here changes almost as fast as in Calgary. It was cool and windy, then yesterday was nice, and today has been perfect. However, tonight a gale is blowing in. We don't expect to get outside much tomorrow. Today has been almost entirely outside.

I started with an early morning run down to the Martello fort just opposite the airport. It was a perfect temperature to run, and it warmed up a bit more. So nice to run in the warmth. There and back is about 9 k I'm guessing. I don't even know how long it took. Ran easy, enjoying the scenery. While I did a bunch of stretching yoga after, Linda went into town to pick up an anklet she had asked the artist to change slightly, and picked up supplies (wine) for tomorrow.

We hung out on the pool deck, chatting and enjoying the day, then wandered over for High Tea at the Bermuda Perfumery. Very nice! Here's a teaser for you.

From there we wandered through town towards Ft Catherine, and strolled this beach.

For the first time ever I saw someone relaxing there. It's a nice beach, just a bit isolated. Along the way we paused to enjoy this view. How could we not?

Once home again we relaxed some more. Here's Linda hard at it.

The wind has been gradually picking up, and as I write this it's getting strong enough that its not so nice to sit outside anymore. In a little while I'll go fire up the BBQ. Tomorrow is likely to be a day of writing, reading, playing with Snapseed, and stalking the intertubes.

The suggestion/rant about the WTC and it's "Access Club" and overfilled events is here. I still don't understand what's so hard about managing a wait list.

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!" -- Randy Pausch

My question: Is pain a brick wall? You can discuss in the comments section of that blog posting.

About Me

I'm hooked pretty good on this triathlon stuff. I'm now about 3/4 the man I used to be, size wise, and there's still some flab around the middle to work on. Even though I'm still really slow, I don't care. I enjoy getting out and doing the training, and I'm really enjoying getting to know this body. After all these years, I'm pleasantly surprised at what it will do.
